Art, Rovaniemi

The gash-like skylight at Rovaniemi Airport is at the same point as the polar circle during the year the airport was designed, 1990.

The 40 meter long window is the masterpiece of architects Mikko Heikkinen and Markku Komonen, who designed the airport. They got the idea for the windows from two things: the polar circle is constantly moving and runs right by the airport.
